Blue-chip location with blue-sky potential

Price guide from $1,100,000. Reasonable pre-auction offers considered.

Situated in Yarralumla's coveted embassy belt and rich with possibilities and potential, this ex-government duplex is in eminently liveable condition now but can easily be redeveloped subject to DA approval thanks to a deliberate air gap between it and the neighbouring home.

The ground-floor living areas are centred around an updated kitchen complete with utility cupboard, exceptional storage and contemporary appliances, including a dishwasher.

The open living and dining areas benefit from green views, including through to the grounds of the Sri Lankan High Commission opposite the front entry, and the large, elevated lawns of the sunny backyard. A ground-floor powder room provides extra amenity.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are serviced by a bright and neat shared bathroom with walk-in shower and separate bathtub.

There's both a carport and single lock-up garage, but the beauty of this location is its walkability. It is just a 7-minute walk to the dynamic Deakin shops, 8 minutes to Yarralumla Primary School, 9 minutes to Canberra Girls Grammar junior campus and 20 minutes to Parliament House.

• Two-storey double-brick duplex in embassy pocket
• Close to Deakin shops
• Updated kitchen with electric wall oven, electric cooktop and dishwasher
• Open plan living and meals
